What I have tried:

i tried to convert it to listbox items and passiing them to y  axis but it wasnt giviing me the expected graph.below is my code

<pre> Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        BaiscPlotSettings("WBCs") 'invoke basic plot settings

        'Dim y As Double       'dependent variabe
        'Dim x As Double = 0  'initialize value of x
        'Dim noOfPts As Integer = 256  'number of data points in data
        'For i As Double = 0 To noOfPts
        '    y = x * x  '  function to plot 
        '    Chart1.Series("WBCs").Points.AddXY(x, y)
        '    x += 1
        'Next
        Dim st As String = "4	8	13	21	29	37	44	48	50	49	48	44	41	37	33	29	24	21	18	16	13	12	10	8	7	6	5	5	4	4	4	3	3	3	2	2	2	2	2	2	2	2	2	2	3	4	4	4	5	5	6	7	9	11	12	15	19	22	27	31	36	41	47	53	60	67	76	85	94	104	115	126	137	149	162	174	185	196	206	216	225	233	241	246	250	252	253	254	254	254	253	250	245	239	231	223	214	206	199	191	182	173	164	155	146	138	131	123	116	108	102	95	90	84	79	74	69	65	61	58	55	52	48	45	43	40	38	37	36	34	33	32	31	30	30	29	28	27	26	26	24	24	23	22	22	21	20	20	20	20	19	19	18	17	15	14	13	12	12	11	11	11	11	11	11	11	10	10	9	9	8	8	7	7	7	6	6	6	6	5	5	4	4	4	4	3	3	3	2	2	2	2	2	1	1	1	1	1	1	1	1	1	1	1	1	1	1	1	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0"
        For i As Integer = 0 To st.Length - 1
            st = st.Replace("	", vbCrLf)
        Next
        ComReadWrite.ReadBox.Text = st
        ListBox1.Items.AddRange(ComReadWrite.ReadBox.Lines)

        For itm As Integer = 0 To ListBox1.Items.Count - 1
            Chart1.Series(0).Points.AddY(itm)
        Next

    End Sub


Private Sub BaiscPlotSettings(ChartLegend As String)
        Chart1.Titles.Add("") ' specify chart name
        Chart1.ChartAreas.Clear()
        Chart1.ChartAreas.Add("Default")

        With Chart1.ChartAreas("Default")
            .AxisX.Title = "fl" ' x label
            .AxisY.Title = ""

                .AxisY.MajorGrid.Enabled = False
                .AxisX.MajorGrid.Enabled = False

            .AxisX.ScaleView.Size = 300
            .AxisY.ScaleView.Size = 300

            .AxisX.Interval = 100
            .AxisY.Enabled = DataVisualization.Charting.AxisEnabled.False
            '    .AxisX.LabelStyle.Interval = 400/4
        End With

        'specify series plot lines 
        Chart1.Series.Clear()
        Chart1.Series.Add(ChartLegend)
        Chart1.Series(ChartLegend).Color = Color.Red
        Chart1.Series(ChartLegend).ChartType = DataVisualization.Charting.SeriesChartType.Area

You'll need to be a bit more clear about what goes "along the x axis" and the same for the y axis. Any chart has at least "2 dimensions".

1 solution

You don't add any data to the graph at all with that code, and you do clear the chart areas and data.

With no data, you certainly won't get a good chart!

Have a look here: Using a Chart With Multiple Lines From A Collection[^] - it's in C#, but online converters should help if you can't understand: Code Converter C# to VB and VB to C#[^]
